I've never in real life seen a difference that could be called "huge". Although I grant that for some things, like a 2-D FFT on many images, I call an optimized asm library routine (which has no checks). My current code runs a small PEG TV station, where nobody dies if the time-and-temperature slide misses an update cycle, or a DVD is unreadable, etc. All Ada checks are on, and the handler logs, sends an email, or sends a text message if there's a Minor .. Significant unforeseen problem.
